>Two students were asked to extend the sequence 2, 4, 8, and so on. The first student said the answer 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, 64, was the correct one. The second student, however, said the first student was wrong and that the
correct answer is 2, 4, 8, 14, 22, 32, 44, and so on. Which student is correct?
Choose the correct answer below.<
A. Both students are correct. The first student is thinking of a geometric sequence. The second student is
thinking of a different sequence
where it starts with 2, then adds 2 to get the second term, then adds 4
to
get the next term, then 6,
then 8, then 10, then 12, and so on.
OB. The second student is correct. It is a different sequence where it starts with 2, then adds 4, to get the
2nd term,
then adds 6 to get the next term, then 8, then 10, then 12, and so on.
C. The first student is correct. The sequence must be a geometric sequence in which each term is multiplied
by 2 to get the
next term.
